When you go skiing, do you bring your lunch with you? What do you usually bring for lunch??

no l usually by something at their cafes r hotels r watever is around

l usually do. All l can get at the resort is garbage food. l usually bring a sandwich from work (panera bread). An apple, some chips, a couple of gatoraids, a candy bar, a bottle of water.

Yeah if l bring a lunch l try to stay healthy, sandwich, granola bar, gatorade (for electrolytes) ext..

Usually l bring a PB&J and a piece of fruit and l will buy a bowl of soup.

If you're really budget orientated then bring your own lunch. All ski areas have a cafeteria or restaurant where you can bring your own food. l would suggest cold sandwiches or check the area since some have a microwave. All ski areas have an excellent cafeteria or restaurant with reasonable prices. l would suggest buying their food since it is less of a hassle.

l always pack some food, & l am prepared to stay for a week or more if inclement weather or road closures isolate me away from home. Just for a lunch, a take a potato that l microwaved for 3 minutes in the morning & wrapped in aluminum foil. l also have several cans of clam chowder & baked beans in my car. l have access to a microwave & a refrigerator at the ski area, although most customers would not. Even at an area other than my ''home'' area l take a lunch & several other meals just in case. My lunch could also be a TV dinner, or a sandwich, or cheese, crackers & sausage, & a good libation.
My emergency kit in my vehicle includes 2 types of cooking stoves. A sterno set & a butane stove, l also carry emergency blankets, & canned fruit & tuna in water & in oil.
Last year at least 2 travelers died when they got lost & left their vehicles in search of help in winter storms. Hope this helps. It is more than just going skiing to an area over an all weather highway. My home area is 65 miles from my home, an all weather 6 lane highway from city limits to the area exit & then 2 miles of 2 lane highway. The road has been closed for 4 days & l expect another day before l go back to work.
l sure rambled on this one, but if it saves a life, great.

We usually bring subs for lunch as l have 4 kids and eating on the mountain is off the charts expensive

l do not know what planet the guy that said the food is reasonable is from but you would be hard pressed to eat on the mountain for much less than 20 per person

l personally bring a flask of peppermint schnappes and buy a beer - l am 100% satisfied

Money so l can eat at the Chalet

even if you think that resorts have excellent food, it wo not be excellent to eat most of it. It is heavy in fat and preservatives which will make you sluggish and lazy. feel like a nap after lunch? go grab some resort food. if you pick the healthy choices you will be good. l usually bring fruit, cheese and crackers, granola type energy bars. it is all about keeping your energy up and your skis going down!

When not skiing at a mountain l have some affiliation with (meaning l have access to discounted food or the BBQ grill at the Patrol Lodge) l normally bring food with me.

l tend to graze all day rather than eat a big lunch. Lodges r sometimes crowded & the tables do not always get cleaned regularly. So l stash non-perishable food in my ski bag & avoid hauling in a cooler or food bag with my other gear.

Usual food l take:
2-3 Energy Bars ( l like Clif & Luna, personally, but whatever u like is fine.)
2 Bagels (untoasted)
1 small squeeze tube of Peanut Butter (get these in a camping store)
2 quart size bags of self-made trail mix. (Put one in ur jacket or ski pack & the other in ur bag in the lodge for later.)
1 16oz Thermos of coffee
1 1qt Nalgene bottle of water
1 16oz Nalgene bottle of water l can mix a drink in ( l currently use Nuun tablets.0 calories & cheaper than buying Vitamin Water)
You can usually scarf things like jelly, cream cheese, & butter from the condiments rack without much problem. One time a cafe clerk at Killington started yelling at me for taking some jelly. She had a heavy South American accent, so l rattled something off that sounded like Polish. l banked on her just ignoring me when she figured l could not speak English, let alone poor English. l was right. She went away & l walked off with free jelly & cream cheese. l do not feel bad.it is not like l am not gonna drop some cash in the bar later on for a cold beer.

Lodge cafeteria prices r usually expensive, so bringing grub from home is usually the way to go. When l am at big resorts & getting back to the main lodge is a hassle l usually carry some of that stuff in my Camelback.

Although, l have on occasion packed my backpacking stove in my daypack with some Ramen noodles & found a lightly used trail, skied off piste a bit, whipped out the stove & boiled up some noodles right on the trail.
